Might of be interest to peeps, given that it's done by a guy who has worked on a fair few Halo games. (I discovered that AFTER playing it).
Huh, weird. Anyone see anything in his post history?
Deus ex machina into some composed database still alive though.

Did they? I thought the in-game use of him was a little lacking but thought maybe they could redeem him. That is too bad if they just kill him off-screen so to speak.

We'll see about that come E3 and beyond.

No, see, it works no matter how good (or bad) the game is. If it rocks, it's played straight. If it sucks, it's bitingly sarcastic. If it's good, but not as good as we'd hoped, it's like Locke's original tone in the ad.
To the people against ADS
I must ask
Would you be against it if it was like the most recent wolfenstein
It was a choice, gun accuracy was just as accurate whether you aimed down sights or fired from the hip
It was purely an option
There was no de-scoping ect ect
I think it should be like
If I die because I'm stopping to ADS, so be it, my deaths should not affect your game play.
As far as sprint goes? Yes, movement speed is basically the same as 'sprint' speed in other games (I did not have the chance to play halo 5 but I'm just judging this through the older games)
But after years of every other FPS having sprint, it is in people's minds, they want that temporary speed boost. The fear of people 'escaping gun fire by running around corners' is laughable to me, because 7 out of 10 times, if your aim is true, that person is never making it around the corner anyway.

Nah, I'd just prefer something humorous or clever, unless it's insulting bad, which I don't think it will be.

When I load into a Halo CE game, oftentimes it'll just be me alone or me and teammates with no enemies, it's aggravating as Halo 1 is my favorite.
As far as partying up and going into mm its fine. Some issues with spawns but other than that its k.
Customs are messy tho
I haven't played campaigns since November. Will the game lose my LASO save and erase all my progress again?
I do not believe so.

If you just want to play some Halo, it's fine, you get into games quickly. However, there are still problems. Quitters/AFK, matches randomly ending, poor skill matchmaking, and other stuff. It's playable, just don't expect much!
It's much stabler than it was, MM system can usually kick off games in reasonable time, party joining tends to work, that sort of thing. There are still plenty of features that are stupidly limited or not working, there are still major issues with the ports (esp CE and 3, not that Microsoft seems to have any interest in ever releasing a half-decent port of CE), and the general MM settings and match quality isn't particularly great.
It's in the state that you might expect a very badly rushed, rough port collection to be in at launch.
You gotta find the screenshot in yor activity feed or maybe upload and then one drive is in the share options.
Happy birthday btw consider that advice your present

SMGs are fun

meh, it depends. I've had some great SMG games and some really shitty ones.
Halo 5 SMGs are a godsend.
Yea...sure.

fun if you're a masochist maybe
Didn't mind AR starts in 3 just because dual magnums were a good substitute and most maps had plenty of precision weapons.
but SMG's in 2 are just migraine inducing.
AR in 5 wouldn't bother me if it didn't have better zoom clarity than the BR and DMR
Halo 3 magnums...good...w0t?

only with AR starts. and only when dual wielded
That's actually what I initially thought lol
You could be right though. Dual meanings are interesting.

What the hell? Which Halo 3 did you play?
The FTP Russian one, or the one in real life?
Yeah, I'm going to have to go with no.

fine by me, but I know I get more kills with dumb dual mags than I have with the AR that didn't end in mutually assured destruction.

People arguing over Matchmaking playlists in 2015.
We need to slay the demon that is denying our wonderful Custom Games community from thriving. How many years now, how many years of these tired arguments? bahhahahahaha loooool
All I remember is people laughing at Conor for how serious he considered Halo's lack of a Custom Games Browser to be detrimental to its success, yet he we are still arguing over SMG/AR vs BR starts lmfaooooooooooooooooooo

You can upload quite a few, actually.
Here's a screenshot I uploaded recently.
Is it just me or did this cutscene have vastly improved lighting on the 360?
So what did you get?
Are you allowed to say what you won?

Mega Bloks UNSC Light Assault VTOL set
Mega Bloks UNSC Helljumper Silver Metallic figure and drop pod
Halo 4 for Xbox 360
Halo First Strike Definitive Edition paperback
Halo Cryptum hardcover
all of which I am incredibly thankful for. except for Halo 4, I didn't already own any of it, so it's quite the haul!
since it was going to be (and I'm quoting loosely here) "whatever is on my desk tomorrow", and none of it was top secret hush hush stuff
except for the BTB beta early access

An alpha build of the H5 campaign. That's why Frankie was banned - 343i fired him for handing out the build and asked GAF to terminate his account.
Edit: The post above mine is a lies, because he's under NDA now.
